• Follow

The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted lives worldwide. People were scared to move out of their homes even when  lockdown restrictions were lifted. People have started to adapt and in the current scenario, if you are travelling, you need to take precautions and carry some of these items.

No-touch tools for door handles

We all know that during the first wave of Covid-19, the virus got transmitted through surfaces. To avoid touching the surfaces like doorknobs or handles, a no-touch tool was innovated. Using this tool, your hands will not come directly to the contact of the doorknobs and you can travel without fear. Of course, sanitising and wearing masks are important.

Anti-Covid key

Many anti-covid keys are made of anti-microbial brass metal. These are like the no-touch tool. The best part is that, unlike no-touch tools, they can be used for ATM touchscreens as well. You can also use it to carry bags, open bottles, etc. How awesome is that?

UV light sanitiser bar

This is one of the brightest innovations during the pandemic. These Sanitiser bars have UV light attached to one end. You can point the bar to the object you want to sanitise. The UV light will help to kill the germs present on the object within a few seconds. It can kill up to 99.9% of germs in 10 seconds. You can purchase it for ₹1000-₹2000. What’s better than this?

Oximeter

Pulse Oximeter has become mandatory even when you are at home. It can detect your oxygen levels correctly. Low oxygen level is the symptom of Covid19 and if you know it early, you can get yourself treated. Even after using all safety gadgets, chances of getting infected while travelling are still there and this device can help you detect the same.

Thermometer

If anyone is visiting your place then checking their temperature before letting them enter is not a bad option. In this current situation, this should be the mandatory step. The infrared thermometers are available in the market that can check if you have a high temperature. Unlike other thermometers, they don’t need human touch to show the results. This is why they can be your safest bet in the current times.

AARMR face mask

Masks should be your best friend in these Covid times. But many of us feel suffocated while wearing masks. Hence, AARMR full-face mask protects you without suffocating. This mask has washable nanotech filters which provide smart particle filtration, apart from saving you from dust and pollution. You can get this mask online for less than Rs 1,500.

UV light Sanitiser box

This works the same as UV sanitiser bars. The only difference is that it kills the germs of the products put inside the box. It uses the same UV rays that kill germs in 10 seconds. You can keep your car keys, glasses, wallet, etc inside it so that all the items can be sanitized.

Portable Power Bank

This is one of the gadgets that will be of use forever. Who loves dead battery, especially when you are travelling? A portable power bank will make sure that you are not disconnected from the world and can ask for help when in need.

Mini pocket wi-fi

This one should be carried every time you travel. Connectivity is important and you cannot always trust public WiFi. Hence, carrying your own mini hotspot can save you from bad WiFi days. There are several such devices available in the market with attractive plans.
